As soon as they let one go one comes in, it's fucking barmy

They will need about 5 dressing rooms at this stage.

They're sailing on the very edge, but the plan is to clear out all the older players on high salaries and the "pure profit" Academy products, and to replace them with young players on lower salaries, and longer amortised contracts.

Last Summer, they sold or let go of, Havertz, Mount, Koulibaly, Kovacic, Pulisic, Mendy, Loftus-Cheek, Ampadu, Hudson-Odoi, Kante, Aubameyang, Azpilicueta, Babayoko etc., and loaned Ziyech, Kepa, Lukaku. That's a hell of a boost to their finances.

It's not quite the same, but similar to when City had that big spending splurge after Pep's first season. We didn't make huge amounts in fees, but got around a dozen ageing, big earners off the books, and spent the money on half that many younger players. Net spend loopoor, but overall it wasn't a huge change in the overall finances.

We spent nothing like Chelsea have over the last 2 years, not even close. Plus they aren’t allowed to use 8 year amortisation any more, 5 max. Clear cheating. To say “it’s not quite the same” as we did is a complete distortion of the truth. Their transfer fees, wages, squad size are completely off the scale, I’m not sure if you are being serious? In addition they’ve only got a small ground and no champions league football last year or this. Commercially not possible to be legal

If Toney goes to Chelsea great, they won’t be at the level of us and arsenal but might make it tougher for top 4/6 for the rags. Not seen this being reported outside of this forum though?

They'd probably sell those as well, if they had them

Been sat watching my phone just on the off chance that Chelsea call.

Don't take anything less than an 8 year contract mate.

Kaveh says it's a good fit, City only won because of Erling.

No chance Chelsea will get top 4.

The media love in with these, despite their ridiculous spending and fiddling of the books by writing off billions of Abramovich loans and selling hotels to themselves is beyond neaseating.
